Old Man Logan is awesome
Friday, June 19th, 2009One day killing time at a chapters I picked up a comic called “Old Man Logan” and flipped through it. I am not really a big comic book reader mainly because the stories can span so many different issues and tittles that it takes forever to finish a story arc. This one however was an 8 issue mini series so keeping tabs on what was going on wouldn’t be hard. Once I read through the first issue I loved the concept.
Wolverine is popular and has been around forever and I have read quite a few of his mini-series sets (Origins, The end etc) but this is by far my favorite. The basic story line without ruining things is this: 90% of the hero population was wiped out after the villains teamed up with each other and organized an attack. During this attack Wolverine (now Logan) was hurt so bad mentally that he vowed never to hurt another living thing again. If you can believe it he is now a farmer who has to pay rent to the grand sons of the Hulk.
That is until he is short one month and needs extra money and therefor goes on an adventure with Hawk eye…
The post Apocalyptic setting of the comic gives it a Mad Max feel and the dark and then suddenly vibrant panel compliment the present and flash back based story telling. It’s worth checking out and if you don’t believe me take a look at some of these panels.
Hawkeye is blind in this continuity, still drives though
Wolverine pre life altering fight
Wolverine During life altering fight
Hawkeyes Daughter is kind of a bitch
The Red Skull wearing Captain Americas Uniform that he claimed after killing him
Uh oh
He’s back
I really hope they extend this story line slightly past 8 issues (maybe 30?) so that I can get a little bit more of the action.
